Sexuality... — Page 2

Up - Oh, I'm all for personal liberty, so people should feel free to share away. I just can't really fathom why it's a curiosity. All it sounds to me is like someone needs to get laid.

And did someone just quote a statistic from the movie CAMP and claim that that made it a fact?

Lies, damned lies, and statistics - yes they did my brothers....hope they were kidding.

Just how much time do you spend in the theatre, jimmy, that it's so obvious?

eta: and since when is IFC the arbiter of accuracy?

Straight male, but given an honourary Gay card around these parts, I beleive.

Im not trying to be offensive but thats the truth, and you shouldnt have started a thread about it if it was that controversal of a subject to you. Well Ive been doing theater and dance since the age of four. And I can proudly say that I have dozens of homosexual male friends that I met doing shows. And Priest, you obviously didnt see sutton in Little Women. I have the cast album of both Piazza and Little Women, and Victoria doesnt even hold a candle to sutton. But in terms of acting, I saw sutton live and Victoria ::bootleg:: and my decision rests. and ghostlight, Ifc isnt completely acurate, but when Ive seen basically the exact same statistics in a number of places, (including coming out of my pschologist's mouth) then they tend to hold some truth.

Jimmy - you DO realize, don't you, that all you're spouting is your opinion, and then claiming it as fact, right?

Frankly, if I were any of the many straight people involved with theatre, I'd be insulted - and probably hate you on sight. But that type of generalization and judgement seems natural to you, so you probably would understand.

jimmy, I WORK on Broadway....and you are just plain wrong. And why oh why would your psycologist know anything about it. You can't believe everything you hear.

Oy...Bypassing the arguements, I am a straight female. Who is a gay man at heart. Well, with boobs, anyhow.

DG - This is why you are a legend in many hearts.

Oh and ghostlight, my doctor was talking about it because I know a friend who was homosexual in theater who overdosed. thats why she was talking about it. and she should know, she does opera.

Jimmy - never, anywhere, did I state, or really even imply, the things you just attributed to me. But have your say - that's fine.

I think your experience of theatre is limited, and perhaps processed through some sort of filter. If you take the entirety of people involved in theatre to include tech as well as performers, the statement or even feeling that most are gay is HIGHLY debateable!

I wasnt making the argument in the first place! I was simply agreeing with someone else. And by theater, I meant performers. My ex was a techie and he was far from gay. can we just please all drop this, Im taking responsibility for hurting all of your feelings. If you want to b!tch at me some more, IM me, I was not trying to pass my opinion off as fact, I was simply stating what Ive seen and heard.

My shrink was talking about the gay presence in theater to me because I was mourning the death of one of my friends who ODed of pills. She was telling me about it, because I asked, and she told me what she knew from her experience in theater.
